4-Methylumbelliferyl b-D-chitobiose heptaacetate

4-MU-chitobiose peracetate; [(4-Methylumbelliferyl)-3,6-di-O-acetyl-N-acetylglucosamine]-4,1-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl)-N-acetylglucosamine

4-Methylumbelliferyl b-D-chitobiose heptaacetate is a fluorogenic substrate that is widely used in diagnostic and research applications. It can be used as a substrate for enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, β-glucuronidase, β-galactosidase, β-glucosidase, α-amylase, α-glucosidase, α-mannosidase, and α-fucosidase. 4MUBH can also be used in the detection of bacterial growth. 4MUBH reacts with NADPH to produce light through chemiluminescence. This product has been shown to have a high purity and quality and should not be stored in UV light or strong acids.
